how to update bundled js on save in asp.net core

Question

in my asp.net core project I have bundleconfig.json:

"outputFileName": "wwwroot/js/site.min.js",
"inputFiles": [
  "wwwroot/js/a.js",
  "wwwroot/js/b.js
],

and I reference the bundle in _Layout.cshtml like this:

<script src="~/js/site.min.js"></script>

If I edit a.js or b.js the changes won't go to site.min.js until I build the project.

Is it possible to update the bundle (site.min.js) on save ?

According to the docs It should work as-is. It seems as though there are number of different configuration changes you can make to it though through right-clicking on the bundleconfig.json. Any possibility you undid one of those options? — peinearydevelopment

I don't have that when I right click, looks like I need to install the VS extension from your link — Omu

thank you, installing the VS extension did it, now the site.min.js is updated on save. You should add your comment as an answer — Omu

This functionality is enabled through a VS Extension. It looks like you need to install the VS Extension and make sure it is appropriately configured.

According to the docs it should work as-is. It seems as though there are number of different configuration changes you can make to it though through right-clicking on the bundleconfig.json.
